Introduction
Lifelong learning is a continual process for every one of us, whether it is for personal
interest or professional development. Trinity College Dublin offers a wide range of
evening and short courses in many different fields which result in the gaining of new
ideas, new knowledge, and in some instances, new qualifications.
Today, the continuing nature of education is more important than ever. Old skills become
obsolete, new skills come to be in high demand. The people who can participate most
effectively in our fast-moving modern society are those who are most open to new ideas,
most adaptable and willing to continually re-educate themselves and broaden their
perspectives.
In addition to degree and diploma courses, there is a wide range of short courses
to choose from in Trinity College, from history of art to social work, philosophy to
psychology, Greek and Roman mythology and religion to neuroscience and a wide
variety of languages among others. We hope that you will find a course that appeals
to you in this booklet.
Réamhrá
Próiseas leanúnach dúinn uile is ea an fhoghlaim ar feadh an tsaoil, bímis ina bun as
suim phearsanta nó ar mhaithe le forbairt phroifisiúnta. Cuireann Coláiste na Tríonóide
réimse leathan cúrsaí tráthnóna agus cúrsaí gearra ar fáil in ábhair éagsúla – cúrsaí a
thabharfaidh smaointe úra agus eolas úr duit agus, i gcás cuid acu, cáilíocht úr freisin.
Sa lá atá inniu ann, tá an t-oideachas leanúnach níos tábhachtaí ná riamh. Tá
seanscileanna ag dul as feidhm agus tá éileamh ar scileanna úra. Na daoine a
ghlacfaidh an pháirt is éifeachtaí i saol tapa an lae inniu ná na daoine atá sásta glacadh
le smaointe nua, atá sásta iad féin a chur in oiriúint do shaol úr, filleadh ar an oideachas
go tráthúil agus a ndearcadh ar an saol a leathnú.
Chomh maith le cúrsaí céime agus dioplóma, tá réimse leathan cúrsaí gearra ar fáil i
gColáiste na Tríonóide – ó stair na healaíne go hobair shóisialta, ón fhealsúnacht go
síceolaíocht, ó mhiotaseolaíocht agus creidimh na Gréige agus na Róimhe go heolaíocht
an néarchórais agus rogha leathan teangacha (i measc ábhar eile). Tá súil againn go
dtiocfaidh tú ar chúrsa a thaitneoidh leat sa leabhrán seo.
